Got some wheel questions? In here!!

Okay, that's what I thought. I've heard of some doing 8 and 8.5 but nothing over that. I didn't know if there was any other discussions on this thread about wheels that wide, I didn't really feel like reading through 16 pages to find out, so I figured I'd just ask. So there's no mods that can be done to make it fit? or should I just contact the manufacturer of the rims to see if they have any in 8 or 8.5?

What about 9? still too wide?

could you do a 9 or 9.5? sure. is it going to take some work to fit? yup.

there's going to be two problem areas:
1) the fenders, you're going to need to roll them
2) the inboard clearance with a higher offset, wide wheel

you'll have to do some measuring before you take this on.
 
I had a feeling it was going to take some work haha
Thanks Bio
I'm going to do some measurements whenever it stops raining, I'll let you know if I end up going through with it.
 
24mm offset isn't that big of a deal on a 7.5" wide wheel. it should fit fine.

*copy/paste from your thread i answered in, too*
 


Has anyone had issues with pre-gens rubbing on the rear fender cutting the tire? I just picked up a set from a guy with a '98 SE and he showed me where it was rubbing on his 225/60/r16. I bought them anyways because I'd never heard of anyone complaining about rubbing and thought maybe something was wrong with his car.

I got them on with 225/60 and have a lot of room, I wonder if he had an issue with his alignment or something else because they fit nice.
 


ill FINALLY have the money to get a new set of shoes in mid october, i think ill just go with it, if they dont fit ill just slap them on my dsm project and make it stanced LOL
 
That's starting to push it. You'll probably need the fenders pulled, rolled, and run more camber. I rolled my fenders and running more camber with 8.25" wheels @ +25.

Then again I'm running a 245 tire so if you run a narrower tire you may be OK.
 


Lexus rims they will look better, your gonna have to roll the fenders, I did I'm running 19x9.5s right now and before I did it tore my tire up bad
 
Someone buy the lexus rims. But i was trying to check on the bullitts and there are different styles for all the different years of mustangs, but input on acura rims at all?
